Brazilian Woman Gets Suspended Prison Term for Stalking BTS' Jung Kook
The court cited repeated warnings and said she visited the property about 22 times before receiving a suspended sentence.
- On May 8, the Seoul Western District Court sentenced a Brazilian woman to one year in prison, suspended for two years, for violating South Korea's anti-stalking law and trespassing at BTS member Jungkook's residence.
- Between December 7 and December 28 last year, the defendant visited Jungkook's residence 22 times, ignoring police restraining orders and once ringing his doorbell 133 times in what the court said demonstrated an "extreme level of obsession."
- Arrested on December 13 after following a food delivery worker through a side gate, she claimed her actions were "out of love" for the 28-year-old singer and loitered outside, throwing items over walls and pushing notes through door gaps.
- The court determined her risk of reoffending was "not significant," though she faces deportation proceedings after the ruling becomes final; she had been detained for about three months before sentencing.
- This incident marks another stalking case involving the K-pop star, following an attempted break-in by a Chinese woman in her 30s at his home last June during his military discharge.
